U.S. safety regulators said late Thursday that General Motors Co. is recalling nearly 30,000 Chevrolet Cruzes because the air bags were built with the wrong part and are at risk of exploding during a crash.

The air bags were supplied by Japanese parts maker Takata Corp. Over the last five years, troubles with Takata air bags have led to recalls of 10 million vehicles worldwide.
